New York Tribune ALMANAC.

Many almanacs there are which con-
tain plenty of trash, but few, or none,
have more valuable data than the APP
proved standard almanac of the NeU
York Tribune. The almanac for 1887 is
out, and is as full as ever of statistical,
descriptive and explanatory data re-
lating to the political life of the United
States. This almanac, first started by
Horace Greeley, and a work on which
he lavished a great deal of painstaking
care, is still the standard textbook of
the day. 1t contains elaborate statis-
tics of the elections of 1886 by States
and Counties, compared with previous
years land in the case of New York and
New Jersey by tOwns); an excellent
abstract of each of the important laws
of Congress of the past year, including
the Presidential succession, alcoholic
drinks, OleOmargarine, pensions, and
trades unions, among the others also
the political party platforms of 1886 in
the different States; the production of
gold and silver in the U. S. and the
world at large, by years; a list of all
the leading officials at Washington and
American representatives abroad; the
electoral vote to which each State is
entitled, with the population; the I'M
ports and Exports of the United States;
Pension Statements; Rates of Postage ;
Internal Revenue receipts, and, in
short, a complete review of all those
interesting and important statistics of
public matters which every citizen
wishes to have at command for ready
reference. Also all the Solar. Plan
etary, Tide, and other Astronomical
statistics which constitute a frst-class
Calendar of the year, good in all parts
of the United States. The price is 80
cents a copy.

Charles II. Baker, Esq, died at his
residence in ChestertOwn on Thursday
evening. in the 57th year of his age
The exact nature of the disease could
not be definitely determined, but It's
symptoms resembled catarrh of the
stomach more than any other. He had
been great sufferer for two years, the
intensity of which, he said few days
before his death, no one could imagine.
Mr.. Baker was man of extraordinary
will power, and to this no doubt is to
be attributed his untiring devotion to
business when one of less resolution,
under similar circumstances, would
have succumbed. While teaching
school he read law under Judge Wick es
and was admitted to the bar at the
January term 1871. He entered at
once upon quite Il remuneratiVe prac-
tice, which he enjoyed throughout its
continuance. From boyhood to the
time of his death, with slight intermis-
siOns, Mr.. Baker had been superintend-
ent Of Sunday-schOOls, first at Bond
Chapel and afterwards in ChestertOwn,
and his efficiency in this important
field of Christian labor was conceded
by all his colabOrers, and his place will
be hard to fill. He was also a local
preacher in the NJ. E. Church for many
years. 1t is not necessary for US to say
that he dies sincerely lamented by all
who knew him. He leaves a widow

The Hose Companv.

At meeting of the Citizens Hose
Company No. l, on Monday evening, a

and also to o. B. Voshell for book. The
committee on paraphernalia presented
samples of equipment, which were ap-
proved and will be ordered this week.
AT the same meeting the following
resolution was offered:
WHEREAS, The Citizens Committee on
equipping the Hose Company having been
discharged from their duties, be it resolved
as said Committee being unable to see ali
the citizens to contribute towards the Hose
Company, some on account of being absent
or sick therefore, as said Hose Companv
wishes to buy another hose carriage or
tender; also, Siamese stOp-gate, with con-
nections, and one extension ladder for
better protection against fire;
Res0tUed, If any one who has not been
waited on by the Citizens COMMITTEES 10

Company and who are willing TO contribnie
towards said Company, can pay anv amount
over TO Henry 5. Anthony, Secretary. or

The decisive rejection of Representa-
tive NOrney's resolution TO the effect
that the Legislature should wait for a
strong expressions from thepeoplein the
way of long petitions for new consti-
tuition before the Legislature would be
authorized to act, is considered to show
a much stronger sentiment in favor of
a new constitution than was thought to
exist. 1t now seems probable, says a
Dover writer: that Senator Martins
bill providing for a note of the people
for or against a convention will secure
the five votes necessary to pass it in
the Senate, while there is no doubt
that the temper of the House is deci-
dedly in favor of such measure On
the other hand, there is absolutely no
hope whatever for Senator FergusOn's
bastard Grubb amendment to the pres
ent constitution, as it cannot in any
event, secure more than five votes in
the Senate, while six are necessary to
its passage. Even should it secure the
necessary six votes in the Senate, the
House would trample it under foot
without mercy, and would not even
compliment it with a majority vote,
much less the twO-thirds vote necessary
to its passage. 1t therefore seems that
the only way to secure constitutional
reform is by a constitutional cOnven-
tiOn, and this is the only real Demo
cratic method after ALL"

they usually tumble down stairs of
mornings. Each Town Commissioner
sleeps now with Belgian block under
his pillow, so impOrtunate is the cry
from the horrible streets. Slowly, but
none the less surely are we drifting into
city style of conducting public busi-
ness. Our post Office is a long way yet
from the rapid delivery system? and
before this can occur locked boxes must
be introduced, as a preliminary to this
innovation: the outside doors are
already locked at stated times. The
Transportation Company are anxious
to take a hand in all of this rush and
will although they force their boats
through miles of shallow creek to keep
up appearances. Now that the Duck
Creek delegation are kicking in the
harness, the Company and the creek
will be the better of it. A few more
factories here and there along the waste
places of this same stream along with
others to keep the engine at the water
works slowly pumping would take
away some of the stiffness that will
settle over place when the house car
penter, the brickayer and the painter,
having finished their work, steal away.

DIR. Todd is a keen observer and a

WHILE we had duringthe first half of
the winter steadily cold, but at no time
extreme weather, and for several weeks
past almost Springlike, they are having
a very different time out West and
there is serious apprehension that
there will be appalling loss of human
life in Montana and Wyoming terri
tories. Snow began falling in the mid
die of November, and there is now
more on the ground than at any time
during the past 10 years. Coal is SELL
ing at $50 a ton at Fort Benton. The
snow is drifted to enormous depths
and more people have been frozen to
death this winter than for quarter of
a century. The cold has been intense,
varying from 40 degrees below zero at
Livingston and Helena, to 60 degrees
below zero at Fort Shaw and Assina-
bOine.
